A University of Illinois - Chicago student is being held Monday night on $500,000 bond on sexual assault charges.
Mohammad Hossain, 19, allegedly told investigators he was acting out scenes from the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey".
"Fifty Shades of Grey" is about a less-than-traditional relationship between a wealthy, controlling businessman and a sexually-naive college student. But prosecutors say Hossain took his interest in the film too far.
Prosecutors described a violent sexual encounter, but the suspect's attorney says her client thought it was consensual.
The assault allegedly took place in Hossain's dorm room in the 900-block of W. Harrison. Prosecutors said a female student, also 19, agreed to remove some of her clothing. Then, Hossain allegedly bound her hands and legs and covered her mouth with a necktie before hitting her with a belt.
Prosecutors say the woman cried and asked him to stop, but he refused and began punching her, and then sexually assaulted her. Hossain allegedly told police he was re-enacting scenes from the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.
